6 Great Pictures from Shuttle Mission STS-119

If you know where to look, you can find a treasure trove of great pictures from each and every NASA mission, including, of course, those of the Space Shuttle. It’s not easy though, that despite the improved look-and-feel of NASA’s website. But if you’re interested in shuttle-specific images, here’s a good jumping off page.

Getting back, here are some of the best images of the just-completed mission STS-119. You won’t find any of astronauts with frizzy hair, or astronauts in gravity-defying poses (that’s so 1990). You will find juxtapositions of Earth, with the ISS, astronauts on EVA, and of course, the shuttle.

Here are the pictures, enjoy, and a word of warning – they’re quite large!
